Ethiopian woman was beaten, strangled to death by her Husband

Arab Mohamed Ali

HIGH POINT —

The state medical examiner has released the autopsy for a 23-year-old
housewife who police say was beat and strangled to death by her husband.
Arab Mohamed Ali, 33, was arrested on a first-degree murder charge in
February in the death of his wife, Safaya Dadacha, according to the High
Point City Clerk’s office. He is being held at the High Point Jail
without bond.
The autopsy shows evidence of head trauma from a blunt instrument and
bruising around Dadacha’s neck indicating she was strangled.
Ali remains in custody at the High Point Jail and has a court
appearance in High Point’s District Court for a probable cause hearing
on May 10.
“We are going to go full force with the prosecution of the case,” said
Walt Jones, head of the High Point District Attorney’s office. “We are
certainly committed to prosecuting the case and attaching all the
seriousness to it that it demands.”
Police responded to the a domestic disturbance call at the couple’s
home, 2113 Wingate Place, at 2 p.m. on Feb. 18. They found Dadacha
unconscious inside the home, along with blood on the walls, according to
police reports. Ali was the one that made the call to emergency
personal.
Dadacha was taken to High Point Regional Hospital, where she died in
the Intensive Care Unit from her injuries the next day. The couple’s two
children, ages 2 and 4, were home at the time and were taken into the
custody of the Department of Social Services.
The Ethiopian woman’s death was the city’s first homicide this year.
